In the northeast part of the Palnad Basin, Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, interesting structural features are noticed in Precambrian sedimentary rocks. A prominent thrust which has brought the Cumbums over the younger Kurnools, and other primary and secondary structures in the rocks are significant and help in deciphering structural events. The thickness of the Narji limestones based on the structural studies is estimated to be 300 m and not 6400 m as suggested by Heron.

Abstract


In the northeast part of the Palnad Basin, Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, interesting structural features are noticed in Precambrian sedimentary rocks. A prominent thrust which has brought the Cumbums over the younger Kurnools, and other primary and secondary structures in the rocks are significant and help in deciphering structural events. The thickness of the Narji limestones based on the structural studies is estimated to be 300 m and not 6400 m as suggested by Heron.
